EastEnders fans beg Linda and Alfie not to develop romance

EastEnders fans are really hoping that nothing further happens between Linda and Alfie. They have a great friendship and should just be friends.

Viewers have now begged the soap to keep their relationship as a platonic one rather than forcing a romance.

One person asked: “How do Linda & Alfie have even less chemistry than Jack & Stacey? So awkward, keep them friends.”

Another person said: “NOOO, we have to deal with Kat & Nish and Jack & Stacey. I can’t handle Linda & Alfie as well, they only belong as FRIENDS.”

A third EastEnders fan ended: “EastEnders’ let a man and a woman be friends without it going any further challenge: impossible.”
